my desk adult ort from Tina with your first look and tongue test of the Samsung rugby pro this is a new phone for 18 t it's a rugged one or as I like to call it rugged ish that's because it is definitely meant for sort of an outdoorsy person maybe a contract worker or a construction worker as well it's got some large buttons on the outside it's thicker it's got some groupable sides here and some flaps to cover all the ports so those are some of the things that you would definitely see in a more durable device it also has a screw on the back to keep the back panel firmly in place so that you're not going to get water dust and humidity and all sorts of elements whole things that you wouldn't want creeping into the back of your phone where the battery the SIM card and the memory slot are but the reason I called it rugged ish is because in one of my drop tests where I actually kind of used a little bit of force and dropped it from just about waist level on to the ground some of the back panel did pop off not the part that was screwed in but the rest of it also it doesn't seem like there's as much rubber casing around it the screen isn't as recessed as I would expect for a device of this type so it is going to be more durable than your average other phone it also comes in an excellent price $99 after a new two-year service agreement what does it have it has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running on here it's got a 4-inch display very lovely nice contrast nice color it's got everything that comes with Android so you've got Google Maps Navigation you've got other Google services like YouTube on it you can sign in to multiple accounts and it's got androids TouchWiz interface which really adds a lot to there's NFC on here so you'll be able to share content like URLs photos and videos by tapping to NFC capable phones together that's using Samsung's sbeam modification of Android Beam there's also a five megapixel camera on the back with flash and it takes video in 1080p HD there's a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front so you will be able to video chat another interesting feature that this has is a convenience button the side I love this because it's programmable and that means that you can program your camera app to it you can program it to trigger the dialer or pretty much any app in November 18 t is going to launched enhanced push-to-talk and so in the future if you do want to use this as a push-to-talk phone you can program push-to-talk with the convenience key another benefit of this phone is that during my test it exhibited excellent call quality so that is definitely a bonus if you're not using push-to-talk you can communicate the usual way now the rugby pro is a waterproof for up to 8 meter in depth for up to 30 minutes of course we're going to test that out one two three that sounded pretty hard but I can definitely see the screen I'm going to call from this phone here there we go accepting a call underwater there we go tone is completely unscathed so here it is a little bit wet but no worse for the wear I'm Jessica dubler from C net and this is your first look at the Samsung rugby pro 418 P
